The Frontier Murders.

PARIS, Sept. q en-. Lebigne, a
banker at Nancy, who is the lessee of
the ground where the shooting occurred,
and who was one of the party of sports
men, says:
"Our party kept the frontier line a few
yards on the left. While descending a path
we were absolutely exposed on the German
side. When the first shot was fired l heard
the hiss of a bullet overhead. Before 1 had
recovered from my surprise, a second shot
killed the keeper and a third wounded Lieut..
Wanger. l summoned the local authorities.
We found blood pools on French soil. / re-
quested a sergeant of gend'armes to mark a
tree at the spot. Iswear that neither a chal-
lenge nor cry was addressed to us. Had the
Germans uttered a sound we must have
heard them"
PARIS, Sept. 29.-lt is semi-oficia1ly
stated that FIourenS, minister of foreign
affairs, while %cOnyersing with CountVOn
Munster, the German ambassador, on
the subject of the frontier shooting in
cident, pointed out, first, that not a
single stain of blood had been found on
German soil; second, Kaufman, after
firing, fled, showing he was conscious of
French official inquiry, therefore,
argued Flourens, proved that
the German agent knowingly com
mitted the offense. Count Won Mum
ster replied that the German inquiry
had not been concluded and he could
give no pledge as to what would be
done. Flourens hopes to receive to-
morrow a dispatch notifying him of the
decision Of the German government in
the matter. The French government
will insist upon the punishment of
Kaufmarzn. The question of indemnity
is of secondary Importance. The pro-
curator of Nancy will meet the German
law officers at the scene of the incident
for the purpose of making a joint exam
nation.

It was so cloudy and foggy yesterday
afternoon that not more than 800 or 400
yentured out to witness the game be-
tween st. Paul and DeS Moines. The
contest was not close, but it was well
worth seeing on account OF the clean
fielding of both teams. Pickett's tumble
and Van Dykes excuSable mutf were
the only errors outside of passed balls.
Duryea and Wells were pitted against
each other in the box, and the former
had decidedly the best of it. Des
Moines only secured four hits, and these
were made in three different innings.
Wells, on the other hand, was
pounded hard, especially in the
second inning. Pretty fly catches
were made by Burch, Murphy and Nc
Cauley. Neither side made a kick and
the game was rushed through to the n
of the sixth inning in a hurry, when a
heavy fog put a stop to further play.
Murphy opened up the first inning, with
q hit to center field, stole second ana
Wilmot's double-bag drive to right cen
ter brought him home. The latter was
nipped trying to steal third and the
next two men went out. In the next
inning Pickett got first on a hit to CEN
ter. Satellite mutfed Crooks fly, but
caught Pickett at second. Crooks took
second on a passed ball and stole third.
McCauley accepted a base on balls and
stole second. Stockwell's hit to left
brought in both runners, Duryea's fine
drive to left center for three bases
brought in Stockwell and Van Dykes
muff of Murphy's fly let in Duryea. In
the fourth inning McCauley led off
with a tWo-bagger to left and went to
third on a passed ball. but the next
three men went out. In the sixth
Pickett hit to center for a base, stole
second and scored on Crooks hit to
right. In the first inning for Des
Moines Alvord drove the ball to right
field for two bases, after two men were
out, but was left. In the third Wells
opened the inning by taking first on
Pickett'S tumble and second and third
on passed balls, but the next three men
were unable to advance him to the
plate. In the sixth Force hit the ball
down in front of the plate and reached
first before Duryea could field it. He
took second on a passed ball and scored
on SATELLITES hit to left. AlvOrd,
Werden and Whitley then went out
one, two, three, and Umpire Hengle
said: "Game. Too dark to play. Can't
see Murphy'S mustache," and ran to the
dressing ROOM. The score follows:

RiddIed With BulIets.

KNOXVILLE, Tenn, Sept. 29.-John
Pierce, a member of the notorious
Turner gang, who was suspected of the
murder of Howard Monroe, of Yellow
Creek, last Saturday night, was oyer
laken by a sheriff and posse yesterday
neal the scene of his crime and riddled
with bnllets. He was overtaken in the
road with a friend, Thomas Henderson,
another of the Turner gang. He was
ordered to halt but turned on the sher-
iff, firing three shots, one of them
slightly wounding a deputy sheriff. The
posse then opened fire on the young
desperate and wounded him in several
places. He will die. Henderson es-
capped at the time with a slight flesh
wards arrested and lodged in the Fine
vile Jail for completely in the murder
of Monroe.

Going to Pieces.

There is a general impression among
railroad men that the Western and
Northwestern Freight bureau will go to
pieces. The notice of withdrawal
given by the Burlington & Northern, it
is expected, will be followed by the act.
There seems to be no doubt on this
point. The managers of the Burling-
ton q Northern say they gave the no
tice after serious and careful delibera-
ton, and not until they had found that
to stay in the union any longer would be
disastrous to their interests. They say
that it is impossible for their road to re-
main in the bureau and meet the COM
petition of the Minnesota & Northwest
ern and other roads. To do this the
Burlington & Northern, they claim,
must be free. With these two roads
out of the association the organization
could not exist. Just here is where all
the trouble arises. The differences be-
tween the various roads are radical, and
the competition very sharp, so that ally
thing like equalized rates is impossible.
These differences are so serious that
each of the roads expect war and are
preparing for it.

Boston, Sept. 29.-Suit is about to be
brought by Attorney General Sherman
against the Mayor of Havershill to test
the civil service law in this state. The
mayor was furnished by the civil
service examiners with a list of eligi-
bles for patrolmen. The list contained
the names of two veteran soldiers. The
mayor appointed a n%On-veteran. 1t is
claimed that the law giving preference
to ex-sOldiers was violated, as one of
the veterans stood higher on the list
than the mar who was selected. The
mayor CLAIMS that the appointee was
better fitted for the place than the yete-
rams, but the question is whether the
mayor had any discretion in the matter

A Revolutionary Pensioner Who
Resides at Mankato,
Special to the Glot

Special to the Globe.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 29.-Gen. Coil,
chief of the old army and navy division
of the pension Office, has just completed
a list of the widows of Revolutionary
soldiers on the pension rolls. There are
thirty-siX of these old ladies, their ages
ranging from s%ixty-nine to n~inetyafive
years, 5 from ninety to ninety-ive in
elusive, 9 from eighty-five to eighty
nine, 10 from eighty to e%ighty-four, IS
from seventY-ive to eighty, 6 from sew
enty to seventy-four and only / aged
sixty-nine. Among the old
widow of Jonathan Wallingford'
of the New Hampshire militia, who now
resides at Mankato, Blue Earth county,
Minn., aged ninety-One. Seventeen
of the soldiers were militia men, and
nineteen belonged to the regular line of
state troops, belonging to the Centen-
NAL army. The state represented by
these widows are New Hampshire,
Vermont, Massachusetts, Connecticut,
Rhode Island, New York, New Jersey,

ENDED IN A TIE.
Minneapolis and Milwaukee Have
a Wrangle in the Eighth.


The Milwaukee trouble was trans
ferred to the Minneapolis grounds yes
terday, and the game ended in the
midst of the eighth inning in a general
wrangle. 1t was a dark and disagree
able day and a heavy mist hung over
the field, making it difficult at best to
see the balls, and to this fact most of
the errors can be attributed. Wrinkle
man and Cushman were the opposing
tWlrlers and did equally good work,
though the former was wild and gave
four mel bases on balls, at least one of
which was directly attributable to the
umpire. When the fourth inning ended
both sides made overtures to have the
game called, but Fessenden paid no
heed. A line hit over the diamond could
not be seen by the fielders, and Williams
Is credited with a three-bagger that
would have been an out on a bright day.
In the last half of the eighth inning
Cushman hit a fly to center field, which
Murphy could not see, and the runner
took second while a kick was in prog
ress. Broughton had been given a base
on balls and was pushed to third. A
long wrangle enSued, and finally Fess-
enden called the game and retreated to
the club house. There, amid much
profanity directed against s'thiS one
horse league" he said he "wouldn't
umpire again for a thousand" AS to
the game, though he calledit, he would
give no decision, saying he would send
IL TO the secretary of the league. 1t
goes, therefore as a tie, as he certainly
called 1t, and it was a Tie at that time,
Wauk having made DO runs in the
eighth inning. The official O

"Oh," said Kelly. ''for no particular reason
just now, but 1 may get my release this fall.
